BvTer — The Therapist Toolbox · Investor Presentation 2026

Context

CBT practitioner? Your day is built on 1:1 talk.

Narrative interviews

Early sessions depend on the patient describing events, feelings and thoughts — in words.

12–15

weekly 1:1 sessions offered per patient under NICE guidelines

Session-by-session discovery

Initial assessment of anxiety and depression unfolds over multiple 1:1 sessions.

12–20

sessions in an average CBT course — the first ~4 are assessment

Documentation after hours

Notes, summaries and treatment plans are written up manually, after the patient leaves.

20–30 min

of note-writing per 50-minute session, mostly unpaid

The Problem

The same paradigm for over 150 years.

The constraints of current psychological therapy.

The struggle

Patients struggle to verbally describe experiences.

Practitioners struggle to verbalize abstract concepts.

→

Today

Worldwide practitioner scarcity
1:1 narrative interviews
No technological means
Practitioner presence is mandatory

→

The result

Practitioner as a bottleneck
Limited communication with the patient
Relative diagnosis accuracy
Long duration of therapy
Limited protection of patient privacy
Burnout

The Solution

BvTer turns visual exploration into clinical insight.

Patient mobile app

A safe, intuitive way to express difficult emotions — without words.

Guided therapeutic interactions through visual choices. Flows walk the patient through an event: naming the thoughts behind it and giving them a face, rating feelings on visual scales, locating them in the body. Patients record their reflections in their own voice and listen back — reflection becomes part of the therapy itself. Fully GDPR-compliant: no patient identity is linked to therapy results.

Practitioner back office

Selections become structured emotional signals a clinician can read.

Every choice generates structured signals the practitioner can interpret: events, feelings, thoughts, physical symptoms. Patient history, session summaries, documentation and treatment planning — organized automatically, not typed after hours.

MVP → Vision. The MVP delivers diagnosis flows — structured discovery and assessment. The vision extends into treatment flows, enabling the full therapeutic process on the platform.

Solution · Patient App

The patient app side — intuitive and visual.

BvTer app: thought monster character screen

Thoughts become characters

Abstract thoughts get a face the patient can point to.

BvTer app: visual feelings and intensity scale

Visual intensity scales

Feelings rated on scales even a child can use.

Body pain map

Physical feelings located, not described.

One guided step at a time

Each feeling is named, confirmed and logged.

Visual content

Animated and static, with sketches.

Adjustable discovery flows

Use flows as-is, or adjust them to the patient.

Voice recording

Patients record reflections and listen back.

Language agnostic

Visuals work in every market and language.

Why it works

One visual language — any age.

Therapy has always run on words. BvTer replaces the blank page with a visual language patients already speak — so the work starts on the first tap, not after months of building vocabulary.

A shared language across the age gap

A young patient and an adult therapist rarely share the same words — but they share the same picture. Visual choices give both sides one common reference, so meaning isn't lost in translation between generations.

Externalization a child can point to

Instead of naming an abstract feeling, the patient turns it into a character they can see and point at. “That monster” is far easier to talk about than “my low self-worth” — and it works whether the patient is 8 or 80.

No vocabulary barrier

Rating a feeling on a visual 1–10 scale, or tapping where it hurts on a body map, needs no clinical or emotional vocabulary. The patient communicates precisely without having to find the right words — the exact barrier that slows therapy with children and adolescents.

The native medium of this generation

Young patients relate to a guided visual app the way they relate to everything else in their world. It lowers resistance — “I don't feel like talking” — and turns reflection into something they actually want to do.

Their own voice, their own pace

Patients record reflections and listen back, so self-reflection becomes part of the therapy itself — not homework they skip.

A clean signal for the therapist

Every visual choice becomes a structured emotional signal the practitioner can read, consistent across every patient regardless of how verbal they are.

Proof

Heard from both sides of the session.

The patient

“I enjoyed working in the app so much. It got me into my own head and my own heart, and even into what I feel in my body. It's the first time I really understand.”

— Girl, 9½ · closing feedback after a course of therapy run entirely through the app.

The practitioner

“I just came out of a session with a sweet patient. She chose an event, and along the way realized it reminded her of another, more important one. What she loved most was recording her own thoughts and feelings. At first she didn't want to open the app — 'I don't feel like it' — resistance. Then, once she started, she couldn't stop: recording herself, listening back, adding more, explaining to me and to herself. It was fascinating. It shows how important reflection and interactive work are.”

— Clinical psychologist, after a live patient session, June 2026.

Go-to-market
